The BEST New BANDS : Radar's trawled the tents to find out who'll be stepping up to the Pyramid next year...
03. Holy Fuck
Hailing from Toronto, Canada, electo-pop perverts Holy Fuck make a noise as abrasive as it is awesome. Witness the mean, serrated edge of bleep-bleeping 'The Pulse' and savagely squelchy 'Safari'. Over on the Queens Head stage, led by the frankly unhinged Brian Borcherdt, these dark disco droogs thread every sound under the sun through their electric playground of wires. They come on like the nastiest electronic band since Suicide, or like the The Fall reworking their brains with screwdrivers, or Add N to (X) playing speed metal. They're the kind of band that could hoof a hangover to kingdome come, or wring the neck of a banal main stage performance.
